This research evaluates the chemical and bacteriological water quality deterioration from treatment plant finished water to the point of consumption in the Bangkok, Thailand,
water distribution system, and focused on the role of water transmission
mains and extension distribution systems (premise plumbing) on water quality
deteriorations. Samples were collected with an extensively spatial and temporal pattern to examine the
water quality deteriorations (physical, chemical and microbiological water quality
changes) in the Bangkok metropolitan area. Locations were included with various premise
types (school, residential, hospital, business), premise plumbing design (storage, wet fire
system, and filtered or unfiltered) and water use patterns (high/low demand, day/night
demand). Statistical analysis was conducted to find if significant predictors exist for
water quality deteriorations within these systems. The effectiveness of engineering
interventions would be evaluated upon successful identification of contamination/regrowth
sources.
